Caravan Towing Being Taken To Bid

A caravan towering instructor has been called off for mandatory training in the wake of three car crashes on Sunshine Coast Section on Bruce Highways. Tony Nicholas from Little John Driving School on the coast said that drivers needed special licenses for vehicles and trucks which weighed more than 4.5 tones but there were no requirement for drivers as to hit the road with a heavy caravan.

A Brisbane couple’s holiday came to abrupt end when the caravan just rolled out to north of Nambour Connection Road. A 69 year old man driving a four wheeler drove towards a caravan and rolled them on Saturday at Wild Horse Mountain.

After around three hours, a four wheel drive towards caravan which was involved in an accident got caught in minibus towering a trailer near the Pumicestone Road overpass. Such crashes are due to lack of education and preparedness.

There is no law which requires people to undertake training to safely tow a caravan which would not make one feel go for any obligation to do it. It will be really scary to see that you do not need any license or training despite the increased weight or length which becomes more dangerous.

The former truck driver, said that main customers were people who had never heard of a caravan before but wanted to travel through the state of Australia safely.

The key things one would teach is how to correct yourself when starting the caravan from side to side, where to position the van on road reversing the safety aspects of staying back on the traffic so that one would get time to stop if something goes wrong. It is also important to load the caravan properly which has been bearing on how safe you are travelling down the highway.

It would be more cumbersome to have a license for each and everything these days. As a result one needs to be compulsorily give a concerted effort to bring up the people together with speed to tower through the caravan making them the safest system in van.

There needs to be awareness programs which one needs so that the role caravan club doesn’t pay up for.
